The Supporting Hands of Birth

This picture represents the involvement that family and care providers can have in a birth. It is beautiful when everyone comes together to support mom in having a wonderful, safe birth.

Kim says, “This picture really captured home birthing for me. A trained midwife whose love, gentleness and skill have overwhelmed me. This was our second home birth with her. She caught, Lucca, our 7 yr old in this same room 7 years previously. She remembered that our eldest daughter, Willow, had cut Lucca’s cord 7 yrs ago. Now it was Lucca’s turn. My husband, Sam, is helping him. I am holding our newest daughter, Shiloh, who is wrapped in the towel. All of these hands play(ed) such important, sweet roles on my life! And I love the many colors!”
